I was at the Billy Cobham gig in the Bonar Hall and remember an amusing moment featuring Rob Adams from Forbes. Rob got himself rather tongue-tied when he came on stage to give Billy Cobham the big intro treatment to the audience, because just at the vital moment he said..."Please welcome on stage, Billy Connolly...er..er...uhm..Billy Cobham!!".Although it was funny, we couldn't help feel sorry for him a bit when it occurred, but after the show when we were all leaving, I remember a couple of guys claiming that he did it deliberately, as a kind of "in joke" that was going on with the organisers behind the scenes.No idea now if it was a mistake or just a bit of mischief!Curt.

My father helped run Platform with Rob Adams. I was too young at the time to realise the status of the musicians that performed.I certainly do now.I have some of the literature of the club that my dad left behind which was about to be thrown out. Very interesting stuff !.
